How these papers were written
I sat the TOGAF® Enterprise Architecture Practitioner exam myself. While I was preparing for it, I could not find practice papers that came close to the real exam's questions and responses, so afterwards I wrote the set I had wanted.
What I was trying to match
Part 2 has a particular shape. Eight scenario questions in ninety minutes, each one several hundred words of situation followed by four answers that are all defensible. It scores on a gradient: 5 for the best answer, 3 for a sound second, 1 for a weak third, 0 for the one that misreads the situation. You pass at 24 out of 40.
That means you can know the method well and still not pass, if you keep choosing the answer that recites it correctly over the answer that fits the situation in front of you. The gap between a 3 and a 5 is where the exam is decided, and it is the thing worth practising.
So the papers reproduce that shape as closely as I could get it: the same question count, the same time limit, the same gradient, scenarios of comparable length and density, and a delivery screen that behaves like the test centre. One question at a time, mark for review, a clock, and a final submission you cannot undo.
How they were built
Eighty questions across ten papers, all written from the published source material.
Every option gets an explanation, not only the best one. The second-best answers get the longest explanations, because working out why a good answer is not the best answer is the hardest part and the part that moves your score.
Every explanation ends with the sections it rests on. Every scenario, option and rationale is original prose, and the evidence lines cite section numbers rather than reproducing the text, so you can read the source in your own copy and check whether I have read it correctly.
The eighty questions were written against a coverage map, so that between them they exercise the whole examinable surface rather than clustering on whichever parts are easiest to write about.
These are original practice questions written to match the format of the real exam. They are not real exam questions, and they are not drawn from any question bank.

Paper 1 is free and complete. No email address, no account. Sit it, read the rationales, and follow two or three of the references into your own copy of the standard.
